Nestled on the western bank of Dubai Creek, Bur Dubai is the home to some of Dubai’s best value accommodation for all types of travellers.
Literally translating as “Mainland Dubai”, it is one of the oldest areas of the city and comes with fabulous transport connections – with Dubai International Airport only a stone’s throw away and Metro connections east to Deira and west to Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina.
Bur Dubai hotels can be out-shone by their flashy high-rise neighbours in Downtown Dubai and the glitz and glamour associated with the resorts along Jumeirah Beach and Palm Jumeirah, but make no mistake, you can still nab a bargain on a luxury property in Bur Dubai.
Whilst some properties can be a little dated, there are many new boutique openings around the popular revitalised areas of town, the Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood and Al Seef. You may compromise on luxury extras such as pools and spas on-site in some Bur Dubai hotels, but budget and short stopover travellers are likely unbothered by this.
Expect not only cheap and cheerful hotels but luxury resorts and hotel apartments ideal for families and longer stays.
